Dance for the World
You're standing in the corner like a timid kitten / and the way you look has gotten me smitten / so take my hand, follow this beat / we'll dance until you feel complete
minds will blur, hearts will race / our bodies just try to keep pace / the rhythms flare into our ears / I'll make you remember this for years
don't try to leave, I'll only follow / you've got an attraction I just can't swallow / don't step into the cold, damp night / 'cuz you know that departure I'll only fight
and our feet will move, our hands will swerve / this is the night that we deserve / as we squirm, we have nothing to prove / we just have to remember to keep the groove
the lights beam at us in green and blue / and the only thing I see is you / my eyes don't wander from your gaze / you've got me trapped in this welcomed haze
I don't mean to, but I perspire / yet I don't feel I need to retire / instead my legs stomp to the song / maybe off beat, but it's not wrong
dance for the world my sweet little butterfly / your moves are so graceful I feel the urge to cry / to think you were so scared, so uncertain / on that "you" we can close the curtain
your small, fragile frame presses against me / the girl next to us screams out like a banshee / we dance with the crowd, dance to defy / to defy all the rules 'til the sun rises high
and alas, said sun comes above and shoots out its beams / which makes the crowd die down, knowing its time for dreams / the crowd still moves together, but now outdoors / to the evil world, with whores and wars
I pull you aside and we stay for a moment / the warmth of the sun beating down on the cement / I tell you "this was fun, let's meet up again sometime" / and you reply, "yeah of course, I truly think you're sublime.
thank you for pulling me into that dance, / for tempting me with the trance. / I don't know your name, but that's okay / there's enough time for that, for now I just want to play."
and that is that, we both seperate / but just the thought of each other makes our hearts accelerate / so I'll wait 'til I can see you again / I'll sign this prayer with an amen
minds will blur, hearts will race / our bodies just try to keep pace / the rhythms flare into our ears / I'll make you remember this for years
don't try to leave, I'll only follow / you've got an attraction I just can't swallow / don't step into the cold, damp night / 'cuz you know that departure I'll only fight
and our feet will move, our hands will swerve / this is the night that we deserve / as we squirm, we have nothing to prove / we just have to remember to keep the groove
